[Guillem Jover] > Hope that explains. Thank you, it does. And after giving it some thoughts, I believe the background for my surprise is that I expect recommends to behave like depends when APT::Install-Recommends is enabled. Handling it like something else break the priciple of least surprise to me. When I added 'Recommends: apache2' to sitesummary, I expected it to behave as if it was a dependency in the default case (APT::Install-Recommends enabled) when installing sitesummary, while allowing sitesummary to be installed without apache2 (or apache2 to be removed after installation) without also having to remove sitesummary.
I realise now that is not how apt and dpkg really work. Perhaps they should work like that? Am I the only one surprised by this? Policy is not mentioning anything about expected postinst ordering for recommends, but perhaps it should? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
